BBC Presenter Scandal #3

[minskks]

allegations are rubbish - did my ears deceive me?

 

[WhatABore]

Has the son said all of it's lies or just that the age is a lie?
With saying nothing illegal happened.
Is he still saying something happened, just that it wasn't illegal?

 

[TeddyA]

Anyone else a bit confused? I left for an hour and it’s all kicked off and I can’t catch up fast enough. I don’t know what to think but something feels wrong.

 

[Halister]

Any evidence that the young person is actually a “crack addict” ?

Phrase of 2023:

Unwise but not illegal

Anything to get away from ‘unprecedented’ & ‘Covid-19’

I am already tired after work. Now I have to stay awake till 10pm 🥱

I’m afraid that you really should be staying up until after 11 when tomorrow’s headlines will be available.

 

[LadyWeatherwax]

Thanks. So much information and I took my eye of the ball for a few hours ... now I have no idea what's going on

I've been off and on here all day because I've been killing time, even I'm shell shocked. If I'd stopped for a few hours I'd probably need oxygen and sedation right now.

 

[ABiggerBoat]

Unwise but not illegal strikes again. It's not his responsibility to stop people online going completely gaga, though.

I agree and I’m not excusing him. I imagine if he ever does release a statement that he will go with the exact same line as PS. At this stage though, I don’t see the evidence that HE has acted as badly as Schofield.

 

[House of Tea]

This site always goes glitchy for me when a lot of traffic is going on one of the threads? Is it the same for anyone else.

 

[WestSideIsDaBest]

Now it’s out there I sort of take my hat off to the bbc for dealing with this head on, unlike this morning. Yes they should have acted sooner if it is as the mother says

 

[ABiggerBoat]

Kelvin Mackenzie is on Sky News at the moment and said he suspects he will never be named and the name will only be out there on social media.

Ironically, Kelvin Mackenzie was the one who “accidentally” slipped HE’s name online earlier today.

 

[ImNotJeremyVine]

The BBC mustn’t of handled it correctly because he wasn’t suspended pending investigation in May, he carried on doing his presenting and was allowed to go to awards etc.. and also carried on sending money after the reports was made.. so he obv wasn’t investigated properly or he just wasn’t arsed that the mother had put a complaint in.

I can only imagine how many crazies call into the BBC with spurious 'complaints' about their presenters on a daily basis. Suspending a presenter simply because somebody mental accuses them (baselessly) of something would probably leave them a little short staffed, I'd imagine.
The suspension would only come once the complaint could be verified as potentially credible, which could take weeks or months (as in this case).

Let’s just say that Huw hasn’t paid anyone off and this whole thing is just a fabrication stirred up by a troubled mother… Can you imagine how awful a situation Huw is in now? Career potentially ruined, dignity lost, relationship with his wife and children ruined. It doesn’t bear thinking about.

I’m starting to think this maybe the case

Fiona repeating ‘ this has JUST come in’
Ok say it again so we believe you !

 

[lamaitresse]

I feel like I'm the last person on the internet to have Googled Huw Edwards Arse tonight (if it's not a deep fake, then, wowzers). I tuned out of the Secret Celebrity Gossip thread a few days ago as the focussing on one subject with scant information for pages and pages was getting a bit boring (no offence to anyone, just my opinion only).

Well, that and bad personal news.

 

[MuchoGusto]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but they live interviewed Kelvin MacKenzie a few minutes ago on the BBC News channel - considering that he named Huw on his Twitter live stream earlier I think they’re just about ready for this to come out today.

 

[Timz]

I’m watching Sky and then GBN for the deep delve at 9pm
The Sun say complaint was from both parents
I think the BBC got spooked today and sent the same message to all news media outlets

Controlled ops

 

[Jusa]

It's still very intriguing that there was a connection/relationship between HE and the 20 year old, whether it was, as is now claimed by the 20 year old, not inappropriate or illegal.
What sort of relationship was it, how did it start and why?

Just realised I also need:

Fiona Bruce: Vicky McClure
Jeremy Vine: Matthew Macfadyean

Just realised I also need:

Fiona Bruce: Vicky McClure
Jeremy Vine: Matthew Macfadyean

Nicky Campbell: John Barrowman
Tim Davie: surprise acting debut from Gary Lineker

 

[Chita]

Sorry, is it now confirmed as Graham Norton??

No.

Nothing is confirmed.
